Norfolk's expansive sandy beaches, such as Holkham and Wells-next-the-Sea, invite leisurely walks and breathtaking sunsets. Nature reserves like Titchwell Marsh showcase the region's diverse birdlife. Inland, ancient woodlands and charming market towns add cultural richness to the camping experience. Whether you're drawn to the fresh air of a sea breeze, or the tranquillity of rural landscapes, camping in Norfolk promises a rejuvenating retreat amid some of Britain's most natural beauty.

Walk the Norfolk Coast Path

The Norfolk Coast Path meanders through this coastal wonderland for 83 miles, providing hikers breathtaking views and glimpses of historic landmarks like Cromer Lighthouse. Nature and history converge seamlessly along this enchanting stretch of shoreline. Some walkers will try to tackle the entire path in one go, taking up to a week to complete the whole thing, while others will take on short sections at a time.
